Nicola Toms – Our big Gig National Project, last year set up a drumming group. This year setting up more free workshops. Family oriented Looking for volunteers to join the team. may need help with other things like graphic design, marketing, places to run the workshops, venues sound engineers.http://www.superact.org.ukhttp://www.ourbiggig.co.uk

I’m looking for someone to work with me. I need someone with enthusiasm and energy to take on specific roles or just muck in and do a bit of everything: booking, publicising, artwork, moving gear, sitting on the door and taking stuff down when it’s all over.

Knowing how hard it is for bands to get even expenses I try to keep running costs to a minimum. Sound engineer is the biggest expense. I monitor who folks come to see and once exs are covered bands get 80% of door split according to how many have come in for them.

The next Music Network will be led by Mark Sampson. The meeting starts at 4pm and will finish at 5.30pm on Thursday 27th November 2014 in Room 435 at Birmingham City University, Millennium Point, Curzon Street, Birmingham, B4 7XG.
